To all lwhom 'it may concern:

Beit known that I, J oHN L. WRITTEN, of Essex Junction, in the county of Chittenden and State of Vermont, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Patterns for Mittens, of which the following is a specification:

This invention relates to the construction of mittens made, either in Whole or in part, ot' leather; and consists in theimode of cutting the leather, and in the patterns for the parts of the said mittens, the same being hereinafter described.

Figure l represents the mode of cutting the backs of the mittens or the pattern therefor. Fig. 2 represents the patterns for cutting the palm and other parts of the mitten. Fig. 3 represents the palm and Wrist connected with the back. Fig. 4 is a view of the back of the complete mitten.

vSimilar letters of reference indicate correspending parts.

A represents the back and wrist, which may be of either soft leather oratextile fabric. B is the pattern for the palm or leather front, with the side stop O attached. D is the pattern for the upper half of the mitten-thumb. Eis the inside half or ball of the thumb. F is a circular piece (or may be a straight piece) of 3 and 4, the dierent parts being indicated by f their appropriate letters.

By usingthese patterns the leather and cloth, or either, is cnt to the best advantage and greatly economized.
